On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

recommended pairing for these stickers: Kara's post about crabs and gender bsky.app/profile/auth...
I grabbed these from @fourthleafluckart.bsky.social on their Kofi shop, and I am in love.
If you like horseshoe crabs as much as you like queer art, you should definitely check them out

Whatever topics you're looking for in YA, there's a good chance they're actually being published. They're just being done by marginalized authors and you're not reading them. But the fewer people who read and promote those books, the less likely we are to see them again. Read more widely!

i love you beginner artists. i love you even if you're trying to learn art in your 60s. sharing your art can be scary if you are new to art and learning, but don't ever let mean people stop you.

your art is important and beautiful because it's yours. keep creating, now more than ever.

"There’s the gagging ouroboros of history... you’re beating your fists against a wall that bears the indents of countless fists, going back forever."

Over in Autostraddle, I write about queer generational trauma: how it works, and how to tell stories about it.

What Is Queer Generational Trauma, and How Do We Tell Stories About It?
Lately, I've been obsessing over the concept of queer generational trauma: the pain passed down to us from our ancestors, which we bequeath in turn to those who come after us.
